BUSINESS REVIEW

The second wave of Covid-19 has badly hit the country post March 2021. With lockdowns/ restrictions on movement
imposed by the State Governments in the country due to second wave of Covid-19, business of the Company may get
affected in the first half of the year. Impact assessment of Covid-19 however, is a continuous process given the uncertainty
associated with its nature and duration. Company continues to monitor changes in economic condition and is prepared to
take measures to safeguard its business operations.

22
Your Company is having an active focused approach, to ensure minimal impact during this crisis. The liquidity situation is
under control and Company has implemented policies to control and reduce all discretionary fixed costs. We continue our
close association with Key OEM's in both Automotive and Household segments.

In the coming year, we foresee a GDP growth of 8-10% driven by rebound in industry and demand from rural areas due to a
good agriculture season. We expect the automotive business in both two-wheelers and four wheelers to remain strong for
the coming year. Consumer spending on healthcare, packaged goods and household goods like washing machines,
water/air purifiers are expected to increase post lockdown and our product portfolio is well positioned to cater to these
applications.

We would expect crude, other key raw material prices and exchange rates to stabilize in the coming year. Further, risks are
constantly monitored and corrective measures, mitigating steps are planned out wherever necessary. An active focused
approach helps us in ensuring minimal impact to the Company, if any.

DIVIDEND

Considering the performance, and to appropriately reward the Members while conserving resources to meet future
financial requirements, the Board of Directors recommends a dividend of ` 10/- per equity share of ` 10 each (100%).
This dividend is subject to the approval of the Members at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting and if approved,
Members whose name appear on the register of Members on August 6, 2021 will be entitled to the dividend.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

The second wave of Covid-19 has adversely impacted most sectors in the the country post March 2021. With lockdowns/
restrictions on movement imposed by some State Governments in the country due to second wave of Covid-19, business
of the Company could get affected in the first half of the year. Impact assessment of Covid19 however, is a continuous
process given the uncertainty associated with its nature and duration. Company continues to monitor changes in
economic condition and is prepared to take measures to safeguard its business operations.

Our employees' health and safety is our number one priority and we have taken measures such as working from home
wherever possible, sanitization of workplaces, availability of thermal scanners and masks as well as encouraging
vaccination etc. for their wellbeing. Your company has ensured the safe shutdown and start-up of our manufacturing units
post the lockdown ensuring all proper safety, hygiene and social distancing measures. Our business continuity and crisis
management plans have enabled us to manage this unprecedented situation. In addition, cost and capital expenditure
measures have been put in place to drive productivity.

We continue to have close coordination with our key suppliers and customers to manage our product supply chain with
minimal interruptions. Our close association with key OEMs in automotive and household segments has enabled us to
drive profitable growth and we expect it to continue in the coming year. Our organizational focus on key industry segments
ensures a deep understanding of their needs and will enable new product introductions for the specific industry. Your
company utilizes R&D capabilities to develop new products for the automotive, household and healthcare segments and
maintains a strong intellectual property position. The Moxi compounding capacity expansion has enabled us to cater to the
increase in market demand and maintain a leadership position.

In the coming year, we foresee a GDP growth of 8-10% (based on reports published by RBI, CMIE and World Bank) driven
by rebound in industry and demand from rural markets due to a good agriculture season. We expect the automotive
business in both for two-wheelers and four wheelers to remain strong for the coming year. Consumer spending on
household goods like washing machines, water/air purifiers, packaged goods and healthcare are expected to increase
post lockdown and our product portfolio is well positioned to cater to these applications.

We would expect crude, other key raw material prices and exchange rates to stabilize in the coming year. Further, risks are
constantly monitored and corrective measures, mitigating steps are planned out wherever necessary. An active focused
approach helps us in ensuring minimal impact to the Company, if any.

ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

After last year's impact of COVID, the Indian economy was expected to revive and was forecasted to grow between 8-
10%this fiscal year. However, the second wave of COVID has made the situation uncertain due to the curfew/lockdown
imposed by several states and the first quarter will be impacted. While the business of the Company may get affected to
some extent, the Company continues to monitor changes in the business environment and is prepared to take measures
to safeguard its business operations. The Government has earlier announced Product Linked Incentives (PLI) schemes
in various industries to boost manufacturing and this should support the economy in both short and long term. We also
expect the Government to announce some short term measures to help with the liquidity in the market.

The government is expected to continue its focus on infrastructure development and attract foreign investment under the
”Ease of doing business” program. There is a push towards local manufacturing and being self reliant as a country. The
growth of your company is closely linked to the growth of the Indian economy. With the easing of the lockdown we
anticipate a recovery in demand for consumer appliances, consistent with a recovery in the economy in the 2nd half of this
fiscal.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Members of
INEOS Styrolution India Limited

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of INEOS Styrolution India Limited (“the Company”), which
comprise the Balance Sheet as at 31 March 2021, and the Statement of Profit and Loss (including Other Comprehensive
Income), the Statement of Cash Flows and the Statement of Changes in Equity for the year then ended, and a summary of
significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion and to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the aforesaid financial
statements give the information required by the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”) in the manner so required and give a true
and fair view in conformity with the Indian Accounting Standards prescribed under section 133 of the Act read with the
Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015, as amended, (“Ind AS”) and other accounting principles generally
accepted in India, of the state of affairs of the Company as at 31 March 2021, and its profit, total comprehensive income, its
cash flows and the changes in equity for the year ended on that date.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit of the financial statements in accordance with the Standards on Auditing specified under section
143(10) of the Act (SAs). Our responsibilities under those Standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility
for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the
Code of Ethics issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) together with the ethical requirements that
are relevant to our audit of the financial statements under the provisions of the Act and the Rules made thereunder, and we
have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the ICAI's Code of Ethics. We
believe that the audit evidence obtained by us is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the
financial statements.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the
financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We
have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

is considered to be remote.

Given the uncertainty and application of significant


judgment in this area in terms of the eventual outcome of
litigations, we determined this to be a key audit matter.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor's Report Thereon

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the
information included in the Director's Report of even date and annexure thereof, but does not include the financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon.

• Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon

• In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in
doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained during the course of our audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

• If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information,
we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

The Company's Board of Directors is responsible for the matters stated in section 134(5) of the Act with respect to the
preparation of these financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance
including other comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity of the Company in accordance with the Ind AS
and other accounting principles generally accepted in India. This responsibility also includes maintenance of adequate
accounting records in accordance with the provisions of the Act for safeguarding the assets of the Company and for
preventing and detecting frauds and other irregularities; selection and application of appropriate accounting policies;
making judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls, that were operating effectively for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the
accounting records, relevant to the preparation and presentation of the financial statement that give a true and fair view
and are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

96
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.

Those Board of Directors are also responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with SAs
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with SAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal financial control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. Under section 143(3)(I) of the Act, we are also responsible for expressing our
opinion on whether the Company has adequate internal financial controls system in place and the operating
effectiveness of such controls.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by the management.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the
audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.

Materiality is the magnitude of misstatements in the financial statements that, individually or in aggregate, makes it
probable that the economic decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable user of the financial statements may be influenced.
We consider quantitative materiality and qualitative factors in (i) planning the scope of our audit work and in evaluating the
results of our work; and (ii) to evaluate the effect of any identified misstatements in the financial statements.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our
audit.

97 Driving Success. Together.


INEOS Styrolution India Limited

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most
significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or
when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

ANNEXURE A TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)

Report on the Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting under Clause (i) of Sub-section 3 of Section
143 of the Companies Act, 2013 (“the Act”)

We have audited the internal financial controls over financial reporting of INEOS Styrolution India Limited
(“the Company”) as of March 31, 2021 in conjunction with our audit of the Ind AS financial statements of the Company for
the year ended on that date.

Management's Responsibility for Internal Financial Controls

The Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal financial controls based on the
internal control over financial reporting criteria established by the Company considering the essential components of
internal control stated in the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of India. These responsibilities include the design, implementation and maintenance of
adequate internal financial controls that were operating effectively for ensuring the orderly and efficient conduct of its
business, including adherence to respective company's policies, the safeguarding of its assets, the prevention and
detection of frauds and errors, the accuracy and completeness of the accounting records, and the timely preparation of
reliable financial information, as required under the Companies Act, 2013.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal financial controls over financial reporting of the
Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial
Controls Over Financial Reporting (the “Guidance Note”) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and the
Standards on Auditing prescribed under Section 143(10) of the Companies Act, 2013, to the extent applicable to an audit
of internal financial controls. Those Standards and the Guidance Note require that we comply with ethical requirements
and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether adequate internal financial controls over
financial reporting was established and maintained and if such controls operated effectively in all material respects.

Our audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the adequacy of the internal financial controls
system over financial reporting and their operating effectiveness. Our audit of internal financial controls over financial
reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal financial controls over financial reporting, assessing the risk that
a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on
the assessed risk. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on
the Company's internal financial controls system over financial reporting.

Meaning of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal financial control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal financial control over financial reporting
includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately
and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that
transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance
with authorisations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding
prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.

100
ANNEXURE A TO INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
(Referred to in paragraph 1(f) under 'Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements' section of our report of even date)

Inherent Limitations of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting

Because of the inherent limitations of internal financial controls over financial reporting, including the possibility of
collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal financial controls over financial reporting to future periods are
subject to the risk that the internal financial control over financial reporting may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Opinion

In our opinion, to the best of our information and according to the explanations given to us, the Company has, in all material
respects, an adequate internal financial controls system over financial reporting and such internal financial controls over
financial reporting were operating effectively as at March 31, 2021, based on the criteria for internal financial control over
financial reporting established by the Company considering the essential components of internal control stated in the
Guidance Note on Audit of Internal Financial Controls Over Financial Reporting issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants of India.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


for the year ended March 31, 2021

Background

INEOS Styrolution India Limited (the 'Company') is a public limited Company domiciled in India and is listed on the
Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and National Stock Exchange (NSE). The Company is engaged in manufacture, trading
and sale of “Engineering Thermoplastics”. The Company has manufacturing facilities at Nandesari, Moxi, Katol and Dahej
and Research and Development centre at Moxi in Gujarat.

Note 1: Significant accounting policies

This note provides a list of the significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these financial statements.
These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

(a) Basis of preparation

(i) Compliance with Ind AS:

The financial statements comply in all material aspects with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS) notified under Section
133 of the Companies Act, 2013 (the Act) [Companies (Indian Accounting Standards) Rules, 2015] and other relevant
provisions of the Act.

All assets and liabilities have been classified as current or non-current as per the Company's normal operating cycle and
other criteria as set out in the Schedule III to the Act.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are consistent with those of the previous
year. Also refer Note 1(a)(iii) below.

(ii) Historical cost convention:

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following:

• certain financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) that are measured at fair value
(refer note 35);

• assets held for sale - measured at lower of its carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell

• defined benefit plans - plan assets measured at fair value (refer note 40).

(b) Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision maker. Refer note 42 for segment information presented.

(c) Foreign currency translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which
the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The financial statements of the Company are presented in Indian rupee
(INR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(ii) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the

112
transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the
translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally
recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

Foreign exchange differences regarded as an adjustment to borrowing costs are presented in the Statement of profit and
loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of profit and loss on
a net basis within other income or other expenses.

Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the
date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported
as part of the fair value gain or loss.

(d) Revenue recognition

(i) Sale of goods

The Company is engaged in manufacturing, trading and sale of 'Engineering Thermoplastics'. Sales are recognised when
control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full
discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the
customer's acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the
risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products
in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence
that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

Revenue from these sales is recognised based on the price agreed with the customer, net of the estimated discounts
based on discount agreements. Revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant
reversal will not occur. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of 30-45 days,
which is consistent with market practice.

Sale of goods does not involve warranty obligation or right to return.

A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional
because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

(ii) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or
services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not
adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(e) Income tax

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the
applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences
and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the
reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts
expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

113 Driving Success. Together.


INEOS Styrolution India Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


for the year ended March 31, 2020

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases
of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is also not accounted
for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time
of the transaction affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit (tax loss). Deferred income tax is determined using tax
rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to
apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax
assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future
taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and
liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are
offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the
asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax includes, Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT) paid in accordance with the tax laws, which gives future economic
benefits in the form of adjustment to future income tax liability. Accordingly, MAT is recognised as an asset in the Balance
Sheet when asset can be measured reliably and it is probable that future economic benefit associated with it will be
realised.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or
directly in equity, respectively.

(f) Leases

As a lessee:

Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is
available for use by the company. Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. As a general rule, the
Company separates non-lease components, such as services, from lease payments except where it is not practical to
determine non-lease components.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net
present value of the following lease payments:

- fixed payments (including in substances fixed payments), less any lease incentive receivable
- variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the
commencement date
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the company exercising that option

Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension option are also included in the measurement of the
liability. The lease payments are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that lessee
would have to pay to borrow the fund necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar
economic environment with similar term, security and conditions.

The Company is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on index or rate, which are not
included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustment to lease payments based on index or rate take effect,
the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. Finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease
period so as to produce a constant periodical rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

114
Variable lease payments other than those based on index or rate are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the
condition that triggers those payments occurs.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

- the amount of initial measurement of lease liability,


- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received,
- any initial direct costs, and
- restoration costs

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight line
basis.

Payments associated with short-term leases of equipment and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-
line basis in the Statement of profit and loss. Short term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low value
asset comprise IT equipment and Office Equipment.

As a lessor:

The Company does not have any lease arrangements where the entity is a lessor.

(g) Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date for any indication of impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is
recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable
amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing
impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are
largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial
assets that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting
period.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, other
short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known
amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts
are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the balance sheet.

(i) Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less provision for
impairment.

(j) Inventories

Raw materials, packing materials, stores and spares, work in progress, traded and finished goods are stated at the lower
of cost and net realisable value. Cost of raw materials and traded goods comprises cost of purchases. Cost of work-in
progress and finished goods comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed
overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Cost of inventories also include
all other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

INEOS Styrolution India Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


for the year ended March 31, 2021

Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average cost basis. Costs of purchased
inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(k) Investments and other financial assets

(i) Classification

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

• those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss and


• those measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of
the cash flows.

For assets measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in profit or loss or other comprehensive income
as the case may be. For investments in equity instruments, this will depend on whether the Company has made an
irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through Statement of
profit and loss.

(ii) Measurement

At initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value. Transaction costs of acquisition of financial
assets carried at fair value through profit and loss are expensed in the Statement of profit and loss.

Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely
payments of principal and interest are measured subsequently at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial
assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method.

Equity instruments : The Company subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value through Statement of Profit
and Loss. Dividends from such investments are recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Company's right to
receive payments is established.

(iii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses on a forward looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its financial assets carried
at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been an increase in credit risk
(Refer note 36).

For trade receivables only, the Company applies the simplified approach permitted by Ind AS 109 Financial Instruments,
which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.

(iv) Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognised only when

• The Company has transferred the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset or
• Retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to
pay the cash flows to one or more recipients.

116
Where the entity has transferred an asset, the Company evaluates whether it has transferred substantially all risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In such cases, the financial asset is derecognised. Where the entity has not
transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the financial asset is not derecognised.

Where the entity has neither transferred a financial asset nor retains substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, the financial asset is derecognised if the Company has not retained control of the financial asset. Where
the group retains control of the financial asset, the asset is continued to be recognised to the extent of continuing
involvement in the financial asset.

(v) Income recognition

Interest income

Interest income on financial assets at amortised cost is calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in the
statement of profit and loss as part of other income. Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to
the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.

Dividends

Dividends are received from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Dividends are recognised as other income
in profit or loss when the right to receive payment is established.

(l) Derivatives

Derivatives are taken as the hedging instrument by the Company.

For derivatives taken against underlying asset/liability or that are used to hedge forecast transactions, the Company
generally designates only the change in fair value of the forward contract related to the spot component and aligned
forward element on reporting date.

Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in the spot component and aligned forward element of the
forward contracts are recognised in Statement of profit and loss.

(m) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet where there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and
settle the liability simultaneously.

(n) Property, plant and equipment

Freehold land is carried at historical cost. All other items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less
depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognised
when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are
incurred.

Depreciation methods and estimated useful lives:

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over useful lives of assets as follows:

Asset Category Estimated useful life


Lease hold land Lease Term
Building, including temporary structure (*) 3-60 Years
Road (*) 10 Years
Plant & Machinery (*) 3-40 Years
Furniture & Fixtures (*) 6-16 Years
Office Equipment (*) 3-7 Years
Vehicles (*) 8-10 Years

(*) Based on technical evaluation, the management believes that the useful life given above best represent the period over
which management expects to use these assets. Hence, the useful lives for these assets are different from the useful lives
as prescribed under Part C of Schedule II of the Companies Act, 2013.

Useful life of Leasehold Improvements is considered based on lease term.

Depreciation and amortization methods and useful lives are reviewed periodically, including at each financial year end.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater
than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the
Statement of profit and loss.

(o) Non-Current Assets Classified as Held for sale

Non-current Assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale
transaction rather than through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of
their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell, except for assets such as deferred tax assets, assets arising from
employee benefits, financial assets and contractual rights under insurance contracts, which are specifically exempt from
this requirement.

An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write-down of the asset to fair value less costs to sell. A gain
is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset, but not in excess of any cumulative
impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the asset is
recognised at the date of de-recognition.

Assets are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as held for sale. Interest and other expenses attributable
to the liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale continue to be recognised.

Assets classified as held for sale are presented separately from the other assets in the balance sheet.

(p) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Company prior to the end of financial year
which are unpaid or not due for payment. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid as per the agreed payment

118
terms. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months after the
reporting period. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.

(q) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. In case of foreign
currency loan, any difference between the proceeds received and repayment amount is recognised in the Statement of
profit and loss.

Borrowings are derecognised from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expired.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Where there is a breach of a material provision of a long-term loan
arrangement on or before the end of the reporting period with the effect that the liability becomes payable on demand on
the reporting date, the entity does not classify the liability as current, if the lender agreed, after the reporting period and
before the approval of the financial statements for issue, not to demand payment as a consequence of the breach.

(r) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale.
Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying
assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

(s) Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is
probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated.
These are reviewed at each reporting period and reflect the best current estimate. Provisions are not recognised for future
operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined
by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect
to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Contingent liabilities are disclosed when there is a possible obligation arising from past events, the existence of which will
be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the Company or a present obligation that arises from past events where it is either not probable that an outflow of
resources will be required to settle the obligation or a reliable estimate of the amount cannot be made.

(t) Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits obligations:

All employee benefits payable within twelve months of service such as salaries, wages, bonus, ex-gratia, medical benefits
etc. are classified as short-term employee benefits and are recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss as an expense

119 Driving Success. Together.


INEOS Styrolution India Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


for the year ended March 31, 2020

and are presented as current employee benefit obligations in the Balance sheet at the undiscounted amount on an accrual
basis. Short-term leave encashment is provided at undiscounted amount during the accounting period based on service
rendered by employees.

Termination benefits are recognised as an expense as and when incurred.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution schemes such as contribution to Provident Fund, Super annuation fund, Employees'
State Insurance Corporation, National Pension Scheme and Labours Welfare Fund are charged as an expense to the
Statement of Profit and Loss based on the amount of contribution required to be made as and when services are rendered
by the employees. The above benefits are classified as Defined Contribution Schemes as the Company has no further
defined obligations beyond the monthly contributions.

Defined benefit plans

Gratuity: The Company provides for gratuity, a defined benefit plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering eligible employees in
accordance with the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump sum payment to vested employees
at retirement, death, incapacitation or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee's
salary and the tenure of employment. The Company's liability is actuarially determined (using the Projected Unit Credit
method) by an independent actuary at the end of each year. Remeasurements i.e. actuarial gains and losses and the
return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in the net interest expense on the net defined benefit liability are
recognised in other comprehensive income.

Non-current compensated absences: The liabilities for earned leave and sick leave are not expected to be settled wholly
within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service. They are therefore
measured as the present value of expected future payments to be made in respect of services provided by employees up
to the end of the reporting period using the projected unit credit method. The benefits are discounted using the market
yields at the end of the reporting period that have terms approximating to the terms of the related obligation.
Remeasurements as a result of experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognised in profit or
loss.

The obligations are presented as current liabilities in the Balance Sheet if the entity does not have an unconditional right to
defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period, regardless of when the actual settlement is expected to
occur.

(u) Contributed equity

Equity shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax,
from the proceeds.

(v) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion
of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

120
(w) Earnings per share

Earnings per share (EPS) is calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the period attributable to Equity Shareholders by
the weighted average number of Equity shares outstanding during the period. Earnings considered in ascertaining the
EPS is the net profit for the period and any attributable tax thereto for the period (Refer Note 34).

(x) Rounding of amounts

All amounts disclosed in the financial statements and notes have been rounded off in lakhs as per the requirement of
Schedule III, unless otherwise stated.

(y) Exceptional items

When items of income or expense are of such nature, size and incidence that their disclosure is necessary to explain the
performance of the Company for the year, the Company makes a disclosure of the nature and amount of such items
separately under the head “Exceptional items”

Critical estimates and judgments :

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates which, by definition, will seldom equal the
actual results. Management also needs to exercise judgement in applying the group's accounting policies.

This note provides an overview of the areas that involved a higher degree of judgement or complexity, and of items which
are more likely to be materially adjusted due to estimates and assumptions turning out to be different than those originally
assessed. Detailed information about each of these estimates and judgements is included in relevant notes together with
information about the basis of calculation for each affected line item in the financial statements.

Areas involving critical estimates and judgements are:

Estimated useful life of tangible assets - Refer Note 1 (n) and Note 2 (A)

Estimated defined benefit obligation - Refer Note 1 (t) and Note 40

Allowance for doubtful debts - Refer Note 1 (k) (iii) and Note 36 (i)

Leases -Refer Note 1 (f) and 2(B)

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Company and that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances.

(iii) Extension and termination options in Lease Contracts

These options are used to maximise operational flexibility in terms of managing the assets used in the Company's
operations. Extension and termination options are included in the lease term, only if the Company has the right to
excercise these options and reasonably certain to excercise the right.

Critical judgements in determining the lease term

In determining the lease term, management considers all facts and circumstances that creates an economic incentive to
exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option. Extension option (or period after termination option)
are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated).

For the leases of office, warehouse, land, vehicle, employee quarters, and equipment, etc., the following factors are
normally the most relevant:,

1. If there is significant penalty to terminate (or not extend), the Company is typically reasonably certain to extend (or not
terminate).
2. If any leasehold improvements are expected to have a significant remaining value, the Company is typically reasonably
certain to extend (or not terminate)
3. Otherwise, the Company considers the other factors including historical lease duration and the costs and business
disruption required to replace the leased asset.

Most extension options in leases have not been included in the lease liabilities, because the Company could replace the
asset without significant cost or business disruption.

The lease term is reassessed if an option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or the Company becomes obliged to
exercise it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only revised if a significant event or a significant change in
circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.

During the current financial year, the financial effect of revising lease terms to reflect the effect of exercising extension and
termination option was a net decrease in recognized lease liabilities of ` 64.54 Lakhs and right-of-use assets of ` 46.65
Lakhs (March 31,2020, an increase in recognized lease liabilities and right-of-use assets of ` 8,952.35 Lakhs).

B. Measurement of fair values

i) Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs

The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities other than those valued at Level 1 and Level 2 are considered to be
the same as their fair values due to the current and short term nature of such balances and no material differences in the
values. Non-current security deposits are interest free deposits repayable on demand. Accordingly, the carrying value of
the same has been considered as fair value. Difference between fair value of non-current borrowings carried at amortised
cost and the carrying value is not considered to be material to the financial statement.

ii) Levels 1, 2 and 3

Level 1 : This includes listed equity instruments that have a quoted price. The fair value of all equity instruments which are
traded in the stock exchanges is valued using the closing price as at the reporting period.

Level 2: The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example over-the-counter
derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little
as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the
instrument is included in level 2.

Level 3: If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level
3.

iii) Valuation technique used to determine fair value

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:


● the use of quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
● the fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts are determined using forward exchange rates at the Balance
Sheet date.

All of the resulting fair value estimates are included in level 1 and 2.

Financial risk management

Risk management framework

Financial Risk Evaluation and Management is an ongoing process within the Organisation. The Company has a robust
risk management framework to identify, monitor and minimize risks. As a process, the risk associated with each area are
identified and prioritized based on severity, likelihood and effectiveness. Process owners are identified for each risk and
metrics are developed for monitoring and reviewing the risk mitigation controls. Risk evaluation and assessments are
reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Managing Director on a quarterly basis. This is constantly monitored by
the Board.

The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
i) Credit risk
ii) Liquidity risk
iii) Market risk

This note explains the sources of risk which the entity is exposed to and how the entity manages the risk and the impact on
the financial statements.

142
i) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument leading to a financial loss.
The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities, primarily trade receivables and from its financing
activities, including deposits with banks and other financial instruments.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure, being the total of the carrying amount of
balances with banks, short term deposits with banks, trade receivables and other financial assets excluding equity
investments.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables of the Company are typically unsecured and derived from sales made to a large number of independent
customers. Customer credit risk is managed by the Company based on established policies, procedures and control
relating to customer credit risk management. Before accepting any new customer, the Company has appropriate level of
control procedures to assess the potential customer’s credit quality. The credit-worthiness of its customers are reviewed
based on their financial position, past experience and other relevant factors. Outstanding customer receivables are
reviewed periodically.

The Company uses Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model to assess the impairment loss. The Company uses a provision
matrix to compute the expected credit loss allowance for trade receivables. The provision matrix takes into account
available external and internal credit risk factors, the Company's historical experience for customers and forward looking
information.

Financial risk management

ii) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial
liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s cash flow management system
ensures, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal
and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.

Financial instruments – Fair values and risk management
iii) Market risk

Market risk is mainly driven by changes in economic and political environment across globe, fluctuation in foreign
exchange rates and interest rates movement, which affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial
instruments. Market risk is attributable to all market risk sensitive financial instruments including foreign currency
receivables, payables and current borrowings. The objective of market risk management is to avoid excessive exposure in
foreign currency revenues and costs.

1. Currency risk

The functional currency of the Company is Indian Rupee. The Company is exposed to currency risk on account of
payables and receivables in foreign currency. Since there is no material export sales, this is not perceived to be a major
risk. Raw materials are mostly imported. The company has a policy to mitigate this risk by taking derivative contracts to
protect against any adverse exchange rate fluctuation. This policy is reviewed on a periodic basis.

Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

(a) Foreign currency risk exposure

The Company's exposure to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period expressed in INR, are as follows:

2. Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk can be either fair value interest rate risk or cash flow interest rate risk. Fair value interest rate risk is the risk
of changes in fair values of variable interest bearing liabilities because of fluctuations in the interest rates. Cash flow
interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows of floating interest bearing liabilities will fluctuate because of
fluctuations in the interest rates. Current borrowing of previous year comprise of working capital loans for an average
tenure of 1 to 60 days, and buyers credit for an average tenure of 60 days.

The Company's fixed rate borrowings were carried at amortised cost. They are therefore not subject to interest rate risk as
defined in Ind AS 107, since neither the carrying amount nor the future cash flows will fluctuate because of a change in
market interest rates.

sheet to be managed as capital:

Total equity as shown in the Balance Sheet includes Share capital, General reserve, Retained earnings, Securities
premium and Capital reserve. Total debt includes current debt plus non-current debt (including current maturities of long

The above matters are under adjudication and the Company expects the judgment will be in its favor and has therefore, not
recognised the provision in relation to these claims. Future cash outflow in respect of above will be determined only on
receipt of judgement/decision. The potential undiscounted amount of total payments that the Company could be required
to make if there was an adverse decision related to above matters as of the date reporting period ends are as illustrated
above.

* DEPB Matter

In respect of imports of raw materials during the period January 2005 to December 2011 for consumption at one of its plant,
the Company paid CVD and SAD through DEPB and availed CENVAT credit of the same.

In respect of said imports, credit is available only if payments are made through DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy
2004-09 and not for DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy 2002-07

The department had contended that the Company had made payments through DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy
2002-07 and not for DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy 2004-09, and issued SCNs.

The Company on its part has contended that the payment has been made through DEPB scrips issued under Exim Policy
2004-09 in respect of said imports. While the Company is not in a position to present the DEPB scrips, it maintains that the
Bill of Entries have been finally assessed by Customs at the Port of Import and they indicated the applicable notification
therein.The Principal Commissioner of Central Excise, Customs and Service Tax adjudicated the matter and disallowed
the credit, and imposed interest and penalties. In this respect, the Company had filed a petition in High Court for which the
Company received an order in November 2017, whereby the cases was remitted back to the Principal Commissioner. The
matter was heard afresh by the Principal Commissioner, and passed an order disallowing credit of ` 1,247.63 lakhs (being
amount for which the Company could not present DEPB scrips and was not certain whether the scrips were issued under
Exim Policy 2004-09 or not) from total contested amount of ` 7,990.97 lakhs in May 2018. Penalty amounting to ` 124.76
lakhs was imposed by the adjudicating authority. Against this the Company has made appeal to CESTAT. The department
has filed an appeal against the order of the Principal Commissioner allowing credit of ` 6,743.35 lakhs (being amount for
which Bill of Entries were available / SCN related to period of purchase of raw material after April 1, 2007) to the Company.

Management believes that their contention has strong merits and in its judgement, the outcome of the matter is probable.
The Management has accordingly disclosed the amount as a contingent liability.

Impact of Judgement on Provident Fund

With reference to the Supreme Court Judgment in case of "Vivekananda Vidyamandir And Others Vs The Regional
Provident Fund Commissioner (II) West Bengal" and the related circular (Circular No. C-I/1(33)2019/Vivekananda Vidya
Mandir/284) dated March 20, 2019 issued by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation in relation to non-exclusion of
certain allowances from the definition of "basic wages" of the relevant employees for the purposes of determining
contribution to provident fund under the Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, the aforesaid
matter is not likely to have a significant impact as per the assessment by management and accordingly, no provision has
been made in these Financial Statements.

Significant estimates: Actuarial assumptions and sensitivity


The significant actuarial assumptions were as follows:
` in Lakhs
Particulars As at March 31, 2021 As at March 31, 2020
a. Discount rate (per annum) 6.40% 6.60%
b. Estimated rate of return on Plan Assets (per annum) 6.40% 6.60%
c. Rate of escalation in salary (per annum) 8.00% 8.00%

The estimates of rate of escalation in salary considered in actuarial valuation, take into account inflation, seniority,
promotion and other relevant factors including supply and demand in the employment market.

The expected rate of return on plan assets is determined considering several applicable factors, mainly the composition of
plan assets held, assessed risks and historical results of return on plan assets.

Sensitivity analysis

Reasonable possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other
assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown below.

Risk exposure

Through its defined benefit plans, the Company is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed
below:

i) Asset volatility

The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to bond yields; if plan assets underperform this
yield, this will create a deficit. The plan assets are managed by LIC and are subject to market risk. Any shortfall is
contributed to the fund by the Company. The Company intends to maintain the above investment in the continuing years.

NOTES FORMING PART OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)


for the year ended March 31, 2021

ii) Changes in bond yields

A decrease in bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the
plans’ bond holdings.

The Company actively monitors how the duration and the expected yield of the investments are matching the expected
cash outflows arising from the employee benefit obligations. The Company has not changed the processes used to
manage its risks from previous periods. Investments are well diversified, such that the failure of any single investment
would not have a material impact on the overall level of assets.

Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending March 31, 2021 are ` 158.21 Lakhs.
(March 31, 2020: ` 175.85 Lakhs)

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 6.48 years (2019-20: 6.61 years). The expected
maturity analysis of gratuity is as follows:
